Obtaining Information from your Medical Records

The confidentiality of medical information is protected by law. Information can only be released with authorization from the patient or their legal guardian. The law requires that the authorization be accompanied by the patient’s signature and the date the request is being authorized.

We are required by law to keep records for 10 years after the patient reaches majority. While the information belongs to the patient, Lexington Medical Center owns the record.

Costs and Charges

Due to the cost of maintaining, retrieving and copying records, there is a charge for the copies, unless they are being sent directly to a health care facility for continuity of care.
